I can't see how. Back in the days when these P2P programs came with ad/spy ware I could see a concern. But LW looks clean. In terms of CPU usage I'm getting about 2% when downloading.
What I'm most concerned about are viruses in files... but a good AV should take care of that.
I'm REALLY concerned about losing track of which files I make public. I've found personal files out there and obviously those people are not aware they left a backdoor open into their PC.
Last I'm concerned about RIAA nazis who spy on P2P users. So I'm cautious about what files I share. At this point it most images and some non-copyright sound files.
